Beautiful shrine. The walk pave from the check-point or Motohakone was present with a nice view along the way. Suggest to walk along the Ashi lakeside. Only 15mins one way walking distance.

Short walk from the checkpoint along the lake bed, there is the shrine a little bit further up in the forest and the tori gate in the lake. During busy times there might be a queue just to take a picture. Beautiful scenery.

Visited this place many times as I stop by on the way to see Mt Fuji often. It’s a really nice place, in terms of nature, but can get really crowded. To take a picture with the gate, be prepared for a queue. I guess try to avoid weekends and peak hours if you want to fully enjoy, or not because you are the master of your own life and I believe in your choices

Really nice place to visit, of course it's very very popular with locals and tourists alike. The Torii by the lake needs to queue up to take pictures. We waited for 40mins with around 12 groups in front of us. Soon the queue started snaking around the compound. Car park is free

One of the must-see shrines in the area. There are three parking lots that provide free parking if you arrive by car. There is a cafe near P2. The shrine itself is spread on 3 levels. The most popular one is at sea level where tourists will queue up to get a photo under the waterside torii. Not worth it in my opinion but to each his own.
